The fear of having no regulation, free markets at all costs. And isn't rejecting anything automatically sort of reactionary?

Politics are subjective, and that's what the article is saying. Existence encompasses everything, so anyone can see whatever it is they want to see. With politics, you certainly wouldn't be choosing the wrong or dumb side, as that would make you wrong or dumb, which is why the side that you choose is always right, smart, and rational, while the other side is the opposite of all that.
